HOTELS<br />
The Augustine Hôtel<br />
The five-star monastery<br />
The lively City of a Thousand Spires, Prague,<br />
harbors many treasures: old churches, traditional<br />
taverns, fabulous castles, parks, cobble<br />
stoned streets… and the Augustine Hotel.<br />
This old monastery from the XIIIth century,<br />
composed of seven historic buildings protected<br />
by UNESCO, has been restored and<br />
modernized, to become one of Europe’s most<br />
beautiful hotels.<br />
In the heart of Prague, in the Mala Strana area,<br />
the Augustine hotel is situated only a few steps<br />
away from the Wallenstein Garden, Prague<br />
Castle and Charles Bridge. Because of its privileged<br />
location in the old town, there are stun-<br />
ning views from all of its 101 rooms: of Prague<br />
Castle, the chapel of the monastery, the Senate<br />
or the beautiful courtyards. The “Tower Suite”<br />
comprises of three floors with a 360° panoramic<br />
view across the rooftops of Prague, which allows<br />
the guests to enjoy these sites at close hand.<br />
Converted and refurbished by Olga Polizzi, the<br />
official designer of the Rocco Forte hotel chain,<br />
they are decorated in a harmonious range of<br />
tones of green, purple, brown and orange. The<br />
beauty of the rooms is set off by the Czech cubic<br />
decorative style that is reflected in the furniture,<br />
paintings, mirrors and typical vases and<br />
which removes any hint of monastic austerity
